I remember the terrible sickening smell going thru South Charleston back in the 50s. My dad worked at the Institute Plant fro 19 years then left and went to work for AMC in the Springhill auto plant which went VW and he was one of 4 master machinist tool and die makers that VW kept on. Dad died October 17, 1987 one month before he turned 66, mom died in November 1990 a month before she turned 69. They built a house in Brook Haven out behind Nitro in 1965 and live there till their early deaths. Both are burried at Tyler Mountain Cemetary. I have not been back there since 1985 and partly due to the chemical conditions there. I would like information on becoming a member of any class action lawsuit due to probable conditions of my parents early cancer related deaths and possibly conditions leading to my ill health. I just had an iliofemoral bypass right leg on March 3, 2011 2 stents in my left femoral artery and 1 stent in my right iliac on December 23, 2010. Also 2 stents at my heart artery due to a hgeart attack September 30, 2006. The 25th of this month (March 2011) I will be 64. I remember being in a small boat in the Kanawha River back in 1963 that was swamped and me and a buddy had to swim with the current to the Marina there at the St. Albans Nitro Bridge and swallowing a good amount of the chemical poluted river water. That was during the era when the river was so poluted that Catfish were born muted with no eyes and before the EPA cleaned it up. I know now that that river did damage to me swallowing it in during that dip and rescue. I remember the fires at the Union Carbide plants back in the 50s and early 60s. I remember the foul water over at mom and dad's Brook Haven home and them having to get bottled water for cooking and drinking. Any information that can put me in contact with the right folks would be greately appreciated. I now live out in the Pacific Northwest in central western Montana. Am disabled retired since 1986.

Put your effort into the drug problem by getting the word out to our young people. Put the effort into education by letting our young people realize school is important. You might think you are educated about the chemical industry, but you do not know the first thing about it. As Mark Foster commented, this is stupid!

I'll let you guess where he lived. Yeah, my Great Uncle is the one that let the government use that land for the rubber plant, as it was his property. I’ll let you guess where he lived.

Temik is a great product, I wished Bayer wouldn't have given up with the EPA and maybe we could feed the world. I think MIC is the best product in the world to Help the world produce healthy crops.
